person interested in understanding biology on a structural level and 
that would like to contribute to the field through lab work, methods 
development in crystallography or instrumental improvements on the 
beamline hardware.


ALBA synchrotron has a strong structural biology group, incorporating a 
well-equped biolab (including an AKTA, mosquito crystallization robot, 
crystal farm etc) two MX beamlines,  a Glacios TEM, an X-ray imaging 
beamline and the ability to perform SAXS experiments.


Feel free to drop me a line if you are interested, the full job

[ccp4bb] Exciting post-doc position available on DNA transcription and conjugation at the ALBA synchrotron

2022-05-16 Thread Roeland Boer

Dear fellow structural biologists,

I would appreciate it if you could forward this message to anyone that 
might be interested.


We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated early-career postdoc to 
study the structural aspects of auxin-dependent transcription regulation 
in plants, and/or plasmid conjugation in gram-positive bacteria at the 
ALBA synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain).


The project is a continuation of the research lines of a highly 
successful research group, including publications in Cell 
(10.1016/j.cell.2013.12.027), Nature Communications 
(10.1038/s41467-020-16032-y), Nucleic Acids Research 
(10.1093/nar/gkaa540 and 10.1093/nar/gky996), Nature Plants 
(10.1038/s41477-020-0662-y) and PNAS (10.1073/pnas.2009554117).


At the ALBA synchrotron, exciting times lie ahead for structural 
biologists. Recently, a new EM facility has been built and is being 
commissioned at the moment. In addition, an upgrade of the storage ring 
will come to fruition in the coming 5-10 years. Furthermore, a 
microfocus beamline is under construction that will be open to friendly 
users in the year to come. These instruments will complement the 
macromolecular crystallography, SAXS, infrared microscopy and X-ray 
microscopy beamlines currently in operation. The facility is located 
near Barcelona, which is a great city to live and work.


For inquiries, please contact me at rb...@cells.es. To apply, please

We currently have an opportunity to lead beamline VMXi at Diamond Light Source. 
The beamline is in the optimisation stage of its user programme for in situ 
experiments and early commissioning developments of its serial crystallography 
capabilities, presenting a unique opportunity for the post holder to develop 
methodologies and a complementary user programme for room temperature 
crystallography with these sample delivery methods.

[ccp4bb] PhD position available at the ALBA synchrotron in Barcelona

2017-05-03 Thread Roeland Boer

Dear Colleagues

I would really appreciate if you could share the info regarding this 
PhD available in my lab with any potential candidates. It's a 
studentship involving structural biology, protein biochemistry and 
biophysics and microbiology to study conjugation in gram-positive bacteria.


The details on how to apply can be found here:
https://intranet.cells.es/Jobs/JobOffers/ViewJob?job_id=252

In this PhD, you will use a range of molecular biology, genetics, 
biochemistry and structural techniques to understand how the production 
of the conjugational machinery is regulated. The goal is to provide 
insights into the conditions and molecular mechanisms that allow 
conjugation to take place. Subjects of study include the preparation of 
the plasmid DNA for transfer to the donor cell, the cell-to-cell 
communication and regulation of the production of the machinery, as well 
as the transcriptional regulation thereof. The succesful candidate will 
form part of the structural biology group of the XALOC beamline at the 
ALBA synchrotron. The project will be developed in collaboration with 
the group of Wilfried Meijer at the Molecular Biology Center in Madrid 
(CBM - Severo Ochoa, CSIC) and is cofunded by FEDER.


Please direct any inquiries for additional information to rb...@cells.es

Best regards,
Roeland Boer
